<p>I am wondering what the better seminars are. I do not want to choose a course with a tougher or less interesting professor. So if anyone can list some of the better seminars, I would appreciate it.</p>
<p>First off, if you’re talking about picking seminar choices online for your first semester, you’re probably not going to get your first choice. I listed four or five choices and didn’t get any of them; your freshman advisor fills out the rest of your schedule first, then sticks you in a seminar that fits time-wise. Some people get ones they list, but it seemed to me that most did not, so it isn’t that important.</p>
<p>As soon as you get your @nd.edu email address, go to ndtoday.com and make an account. All of the teacher evaluations are there, and you can look up different professors. It’s a great tool, and it’s a great way to pick classes. Otherwise, just put in classes that sound interesting and your advisor will figure it out.</p>
<p>Seminars are largely the same, with the main difference being the subject matter discussed, so that’s the only real difference, other than the professor. Good luck with getting a good class.</p>
<p>It’s a crapshoot. Some demand a lot more work than others, and some grade much harder than others…</p>
<p>Alright, thanks. The ndtoday advice was helpful.</p>
<p>It’s also quite possible that you’ll be placed in Writing & Rhetoric first semester. Given the standard curriculum in that class, the only difference is in the professor. Then you’d get to choose your seminar when you register for Spring semester. Of course, if you get a seminar, you can choose your W&R section for Spring semester, but it seemed like almost every section just had “TBA” for the professor, since so many are grad students.</p>
<p>I met few students with truly bad schedules freshman year, so you should be fine. Good luck with the transition, and don’t let it worry you, ND’s going to be a lot of fun.</p>
<p>^You can get out of W&R with AP English credit, right? Or is it mandatory for all?</p>
<p>Yes, you can. See this table for details: <a href=“University of Notre Dame”>University of Notre Dame;
